Don't let Margaret's family go through the cold months without gas

Margaret is behind on gas bills after losing my job in July and needs $150 to avoid a shut-off.

The gas account is 4 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on October unless I pay $150. I have never been late before losing my job in July. I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $15 first, which I don't have. I live with a newborn, and going through the cold months without gas isn't safe. The children would have no light to study by. I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady. Every dollar goes to the account in Margaret's name; a copy of the paid bill will be shared in the updates. Where the $150 goes: โ€ข Heating arrears: $65 โ€ข Reconnection and late fees: $20 โ€ข Down payment on a payment plan: $65 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
